5.0 out of 5 stars
Charming collection of fairy tales
I really enjoyed this book. It is a funny, wry, and entertaining collection of modern fairy tales. It's a perfect bedside table book; light-hearted and well written.

Dull indeed
Unbelievable drivel. Twisted fairtales, as promised in the blurb on the back cover, but no mention of how dull and unentertaining they were! Anyone could write this sort of rubbish, but I would have expected that it could have been written much more cleverly. With a little bit of wit and humor, please? This book contains 7 short (very short) stories...

Unbelievable drivel.
Twisted fairtales, as promised in the blurb on the back cover, but no mention of how dull and unentertaining they were! Anyone could write this sort of rubbish, but I would have expected that it could have been written much more cleverly. With a little bit of wit and humor, please? This book contains 7 short (very short) stories of tales based on twisting the old fairy tales. Every story seethes with cynicism and every heroine is daft to the duplicity of others. There are endings, whether they are happy or not they are always endings, and I admit the Fat Wife was not as tedious as the others... but I hardly think that in Fairy Tales for Grown Ups it needs to be a showcase of stupidity & deviousness - does it? Honestly? I wouldn't bother.
